If Apple has actually borrowed the technology, and the Israeli company is able to finance a costly litigation for a lengthy period of time, then Apple will probably suggest a settlement and pay a compensation, believes Vladimir Shalayev, lawyer, BMS Law Firm. It is also worth noting that the company had its own developments which could be similar with those by Corephotonics, since today the direction of technological research done by major players is very similar, so the patent infringement is hard to prove. Naturally, theoretically it is possible, but this will require an in-depth expert examination of all relevant technical data, which will require years and years to complete, Vladimir Shalayev thinks.
